A residential subdivision on property abutting a W3 Heavy Industrial Zone shall be a cluster development pursuant to § 17-3-502. For a residential subdivision developed on a parcel of at least 20 acres under this section, the Office of Planning and Zoning shall approve a development in accordance with bulk regulations under § 18-4-601 of this Code in order to ensure, to the extent reasonably practicable, sufficient buffers for the cluster subdivision for sight obstruction and to shield against nuisances, including noise, light, vibrations, noxious odors, dust, or debris emanating from the abutting industrial zone.
